In the month of March, Demko was tied for third in the NHL in wins (8), eighth in SV% (.937) and tied for 11th in GAA (2.15). Demko has proven he is the goaltender of the future in Vancouver and earned a nice five-year extension, which kicks in next year.

Weber spent the last four years with the Predators, totalling just three points (1G / 2A) in 41 games a season ago. The Penguins' blueline has been battered by injuries, so they turned to Weber for some outside help.
